THE INCOMPLETE BIOGRAPHY OF ALBERT EINSTEIN
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/20/bo...html?ref=books
Walter Isaacson: "The first [paper] deals with radiation and the energy properties of light and is very revolutionary," he [Einstein] explained. Yes, it was indeed revolutionary. It argued that light could be regarded not just as a wave but also as a stream of tiny particles called quanta. The implications that would eventually arise from this theory - a cosmos without strict causality or certainty - would spook him for the rest of his life. Isaacson could have added: Other implications - the tiny particles undergo acceleration in a gravitational field and, equivalently, in the absence of a gravitational field, their speed depends on the relative speed of the light source and the observer - would eventually be camouflaged by relativists, in accordance with confessions made by Einstein himself: Einstein: "If the speed of light is the least bit affected by the speed of the light source, then my whole theory of relativity and theory of gravity is false." Einstein again: "I consider it quite possible that physics cannot be based on the field concept, i.e., on continuous structures. In that case, nothing remains of my entire castle in the air, gravitation theory included, [and of] the rest of modern physics." Pentcho Valev |

This proposal was far more incendiary than it sounded - "a flame that would consume classical physics," in Isaacson's words. If light is made of particles,.....what would a light beam look like if you could catch up and ride alongside it?" Pentcho Valev |
